[Note 03/20/22: There’s a lot this entry does not address including the effects of the increased interference from the rogue signal on medical devices and the reliance on Comcast infrastructure for networking instead of an Ethernet option that could provide better security. Network security should be of paramount concern in creating building security. For healthy buildings, radiators like coaxial should be minimized and the potential for electrical and radio-frequency interference controlled. It’s important to consider the increased number of medical devices likely to be found in a building inhabited by seniors and the potential need for dedicated outlets protected from interference. A signal-rich environment, especially one founded on wireless technologies, is attractive to criminals who use rogue signal to effect their bad ends.]
As the mobbing drags on and no action is taken to stop corrupt block captains and neighborhood watch captains in cities like Seattle and Albany, it becomes necessary to share more information about the lengths mobbers are willing to go to turn over properties.
It makes sense that mobbing criminals who follow their victims into secured areas of the airport will probably follow them anywhere. These are crooks with psychopathic traits trying to show their absolute power to access their victims—in bed, in the bathroom, even at gynecologist appointments at Virginia Mason Hospital in Seattle (though I can’t be sure whether it was over speaker-enabled access point, my nurse practitioner’s cell phone, or the computer at the desk in the exam room). It’s no surprise when they show up on devices with tuners and speakers in the senior living facilities their victims visit.
In senior housing, Comcast set-top boxes, strung together with radiating coaxial, provide easy entry to the poorly protected WiFi networks seniors are given to manage their affairs. Wireless communication services spanning multiple stories might include multiple routers, wireless and speaker-enabled access points, and power line extenders. Staff communications might be supported by unsecured walkie-talkies known to create radio-frequency interference and intercom systems whose passwords are unchanged from their defaults or, like the WiFi network passwords of the facility itself, widely disseminated and never changed. Self-dealing block coordinators involved in emergency services and communications services that are not secure make the residents of local senior housing complexes captive audience for scams combining proximity and line-of-sight in close-range attacks enabled by directional antennas, WiFi extenders, interfering lamps and power supplies, and LED access points. And when the block coordinator is your neighbor, she’ll be sure to tell mobbing criminals everything she knows about you, your family, and your home.
A few years back, baby-cams signaled speaker crimes yet to come (“I’m in your baby’s room,” The Washington Post, https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/12/20/nest-cam-baby-monitor-hacked-kidnap-threat-came-device-parents-say/). It’s speaker-enabled access points that make it easy for these low-end crooks to isolate, threaten, and extort the vulnerable. If nothing is done about corruption in cities like Albany, California, and nothing is done to recreate infrastructure to be secure, mobbers willing to follow their victims into senior housing—whether they use walkie-talkies or walkie-talkie apps, police scanning radios or WiFi repeaters—will likely find it cost-effective to use infrastructure and WiFi to systematically work through an elderly population sharing communication services, bullying them in isolation, one by one. When seniors report the voices demanding account numbers, passcodes and legal documents night after night, they’ll be disregarded as senile and left with little choice other than to protect their autonomy by keeping silent. Such scams might be aided by those with physical access to the facility, who can provide “inside information” about vulnerable residents and building infrastructure and communications.
This is a bit of an out-of-order missive that does not supplant other writings planned or underway. It’s written to ensure that what these people do is known. It’s written because it’s deeply, deeply wrong to follow and harass people no matter where they are, to strip them of the privacy of solitude or the intimacy of relationship. It’s deeply, deeply wrong for cities like Albany, California and Seattle, Washington to let them, especially when victims take the risk to report this corruption of city services. The people who do this are one and the same with the right-wing wackos and militia who would riot at the Capitol and while spewing claptrap, demand the blood of those who uphold the rule of law. It’s the same American sickness. Is this the kind of place Seattle is? Is this the kind of place Albany has become? Why do our cities employ people who are against us?
